Potential Expatriates who wish to find employment abroad should ensure that they are prepared.

In hotter European countries for instance, it is encouraged that workers have a rest in the middle of the day when it gets hot and many businesses close for a brief period at this time.

It is also worth finding out the employment rights of the nation, such as whether immigrants need work permits or receive healthcare.

People may also wish to discover whether it is appropriate to call colleagues by their forenames and other issues, such as what language and clothing is inappropriate for a business setting, before commencing their employment.
